ikan ID508 overview

The ID508-v2 Daylight LED Light from ikan is a 13 x 6.75" LED panel with a daylight color balance of 5600K. Since the ID508-v2 generates little heat, weighs 3.1 lb and measures just one inch in thickness, it can easily meet the challenge of tight spaces while eliminating concern about damage, hazard or talent discomfort.

While the 10-100% dimming and variable color remove the need for repositioning the light or adding filtration, ikan provides a diffusion filter to take the edge off of the crisp LEDs, as well as a CTO filter for converting the daylight output to tungsten.

The ID508-v2 is powered by the included multi-voltage AC adapter for worldwide use or by the two provided Sony L-type batteries for use when mains power is unavailable on location. The light also comes with a charger and 5/8" stand mount. Its reflective four-way barndoors not only allow you to contour the light output, but fold flat across the panel to form a protective shell.

My camera loves this lightI bought this to light up those dark wedding reception halls. Too often the bridal party table is so dimly lite and most camera led lights just don't have enough throw unless right at the table. This light will throw enough light from 25FT at 50% brightness. Also works well for the entrance of the bridal party. Use on for the dance floor by getting the light as high as possible shining down at less than 20% This light came with a light stand and swivel light stand adaptor that allows a very secure tilt adjustment. Barn doors don't seem too effective in controlling the spill. Ikan makes a similar light described as a spot light. (IFD576-SP) This would be my next purchase.

Great LightI bought this light to replace on of my florescent units. It is a far easier setup and I don't have to worry about the bulbs breaking. I provides good output and dimming when needed. The light output is greater than the Bi-color models and it comes with a snap on CTO filter to change it to tungsten balanced. The barn doors were a must for me to be able to control the light throw. Other models I looked at did not have barn doors available; with this light they are standard and very effective. It is well built and should be able to take the abuse of field productions. The available battery power makes it a great light for ENG/EFP shooting. The batteries have so far lasted a good while and combined with the dimmer it is an excellent talent light for news stand ups.
